You And I
Like a hammer without a nail
Like a sheriff without a jail
I came to you
Like a suitor without a bride
Like a slide without a ride
I envied you
As a wind without air
As a being without care
I was there
As a ear without sound
As a lost without found
I hung around
Into all within a mind
Into this within a find
Be kind
Into you within a I
Into us within a try
Be my
Like a sheriff without a jail
I came to you
Like a suitor without a bride
Like a slide without a ride
I envied you
As a wind without air
As a being without care
I was there
As a ear without sound
As a lost without found
I hung around
Into all within a mind
Into this within a find
Be kind
Into you within a I
Into us within a try
Be my

Contradiction
A woman reels in a man
Because she can
Loves his style is game
Old story often same
She wants him domesticated
Properly emasculated
What goes on in her head?
She wants her love dead?
No to eat her cake yet keep
And peacefully sleep
While he duly withers away
She will blame him some day
A victim of nature so cruel
In a perpetual duel
Good genes says strong child
Later they become too wild
Because she can
Loves his style is game
Old story often same
She wants him domesticated
Properly emasculated
What goes on in her head?
She wants her love dead?
No to eat her cake yet keep
And peacefully sleep
While he duly withers away
She will blame him some day
A victim of nature so cruel
In a perpetual duel
Good genes says strong child
Later they become too wild

I've got a headache with your name on it
You never ever seem to learn
The suffering heart you make a toy of it
Do you want the world to burn?
So you found a way to control the masses, big deal
As your strings were being yanked
Can't see through your black tinted glasses, I feel
Your whole philosophy has tanked
But you carry on as if all that matters
Is your money and ooh your power
Conceited jerk the world is in tatters
Your control it's waning by the hour
If we ever meet I will slap you silly
To...

Out In The Countryside
I wanna to find me a kitten I wanna to grab me a pup
I´m gonna raise em together that's how they´ll grow up
Good living out in the countryside
I'm gonna be a nice neighbor I'm gonna be so good
I'm gonna help with what's needed in the neighborhood
Clean living out in the countryside
I´m gonna fix up the yard there I´ll place the hot pot
I´ll soak there commando observing all that I've got
Fresh living out in the countryside
I'm gonna drive out my sorrows I´m gonna clean up my act
I´m gonna think of today and then...

Skoda 120l & i
A Skoda 120l. It wasn't so much that the car was bad, it was i who was bad.
It drove pretty well, engine in the back, fairly easy to fix, could even tighten the hand brake from inside the car by opening a panel between the back seats. Well, after a few months things started breaking down a bit, as they do and i didn't bother with the tough stuff, just did enough to keep it running. Winter came and i was still on my Yul Brynner tires, but nah, too expensive to buy new ones and i was a really good driver, or so i believed.
i wasn't happy with how it was running and...

Plants
Plants are pretty
Plants just sit there, waiting
Plants never get embarrassed
Plants display their flowers
Plants are sluts

Mother
And now in my hour of sorrow and grief
I find it entangled with blessed relief
The love in my heart intermixes the two
Sweet gracious surrender I bow to you
I find it entangled with blessed relief
The love in my heart intermixes the two
Sweet gracious surrender I bow to you

Birds
Birds speak a language old and true
Birds know what is what and who is who
Birds see you and what you do
Birds they know a thing or two
Birds know what is what and who is who
Birds see you and what you do
Birds they know a thing or two

Love Is A Weapon
If hate won't bite it
And we can't fight it
Then let us love it
As we rise above it
It can't make sense of it
It has no defense from it
If we lovingly engage it
It will surely enrage it
And we can't fight it
Then let us love it
As we rise above it
It can't make sense of it
It has no defense from it
If we lovingly engage it
It will surely enrage it

The Blue Tube
Some dreams are more than dreams.
Some 25 years ago I 'dreamed' this. It is an exact description, for I remember every detail.
It is a bright chilly day and I am walking in the parking lot of the apartment building where I live and am almost at my car door when a very loud metallic clang rings out, akin to the sound of a sledge crashing into an anvil. I look up and towards the west from where the noise came and see the horizon turn white and then in a flash everything turns white.
I wake up naked in a transparent tube with a bluish hue....

Reflection
I have read all the books I need to read?
I have fed all the mouths I need to feed?
I have bled all the blood I need to bleed?
I have deseeded all the seed I need to deseed?
I have pleaded all the pleas I need to plead?
I have needed all the need I need to need?
I have fed all the mouths I need to feed?
I have bled all the blood I need to bleed?
I have deseeded all the seed I need to deseed?
I have pleaded all the pleas I need to plead?
I have needed all the need I need to need?
